America won’t be repeating that historic one small step anytime soon -- not according to NASA chief Charlie Bolden, anyway.
“NASA is not going to the Moon with a human as a primary project probably in my lifetime,” Bolden told a joint meeting of the Space Studies Board and the Aeronautics and Space Engineering Board in Washington last week, according to Jeff Foust of SpacePolitics.com. “And the reason is, we can only do so many things.”

Hopefully, China will send us postcards.
Yeah, gotta do that Muslim Outreach stuff . . .
I’d fire the NASA chief who said that.
But with this president, he is merely speaking the frank reality.
We’d have to fire the president before we can fire the NASA chief. Both useless.
Seems a shame that the first permanant station on the
moon will be chinese. The mind set of this administration
is pathetic.
I've heard unsubstantiated rumors that the Mooners have dis-invited all NASA cruises from visiting because their passengers are litterbugs and were ruining the pristine lunar landscape..................
Why send humans into space when the commie goal is to process them like pigs?
That’s okay, the space program now exists to make Muslims comfortable, and they’re doing a great job.
Stupid set of missions that NASA currently has....outreach to Muslims and explore asteroids. I mean those are such really really dumb.....hanging my head in shame
Can’t walk on the moon. It is sacred to Muslims and an affront to their religion to even suggest we have.
OK Gil-Scott Heron - Whitey’s not going to the moon any more. Has that solved your problems?
A rat done bit my sister Nell.
(with Whitey on the moon)
Her face and arms began to swell.
(and Whitey’s on the moon)
I can’t pay no doctor bill.
(but Whitey’s on the moon)
Ten years from now I’ll be payin’ still.
(while Whitey’s on the moon)
The man jus’ upped my rent las’ night.
(’cause Whitey’s on the moon)
No hot water, no toilets, no lights.
(but Whitey’s on the moon)
I wonder why he’s uppi’ me?
(’cause Whitey’s on the moon?)
I wuz already payin’ ‘im fifty a week.
(with Whitey on the moon)
Taxes takin’ my whole damn check,
Junkies makin’ me a nervous wreck,
The price of food is goin’ up,
An’ as if all that (bleep) wuzn’t enough:
A rat done bit my sister Nell.
(with Whitey on the moon)
Her face an’ arm began to swell.
(but Whitey’s on the moon)
Was all that money I made las’ year
(for Whitey on the moon?)
How come there ain’t no money here?
(Hmm! Whitey’s on the moon)
Y’know I jus’ ‘bout had my fill
(of Whitey on the moon)
I think I’ll sen’ these doctor bills,
Airmail special
(to Whitey on the moon)
Didn’t Bush Sr. say we’d have a man on Mars by 2019? We better hurry up!
Really, I know...the moon? NASA?....what are they thinking?
That’s like if the Treasury Department started acting like a Cuban travel agent for Beyonce!
I thought it was Zero that wanted to send a man to Mars???
While it’s true that we don’t have enough Martian constituents to rationalize a Manned mission to Mars,
I can’t believe there is an insufficient “lunatic” constituency who might be expected to support a manned lunar mission.
Moon? We can’t even put an astronaut in orbit right now.
In 2019, kids will realize 50 years ago their great grand parents were much more sophisticated than they are now.
I’m afraid in time, the world may begin to believe landing on the moon was nothing more than a fairy tale.
